When setting of the chain is finished, soak it in oil and wash away filings completely before using.

When chain has been filed on the bar, supply sufficient oil to it, rotate the chain slowly to wash away the filings before using again.

If the chain saw is operated with filings clogged in the groove, the saw chain and the guide bar will be damaged prematurely

If the saw chain becomes soiled with resin, for instance, clean it with kerosene and soak it in oil.
